Dorothy Gale 7,575 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 R. Kelly was trying to make a comeback at the time ARTPOP, and I don't see Gaga specifically requesting him. Evidence of this seems to be found in the lack of dwuw video, and he fact that it was released as a promo single. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasel 12,525 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Didn't she say that Tara came up with the idea or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed 7,716 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well he also was doing the Justin Bieber song at that time too and planning on coming out with "Black Panties" so I wouldn't be surprised if the label applied some pressure to get her to do a collab.

Lady Palutena 3,147 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 According to Gagapedia, DJ White Shadow was the one who suggested and she agreed."I wrote that song with Paul (DJ White Shadow) and when it was done, I said “well, it’s an R&B song and I’m a white chick from New York, so we better call the King of R&B and see if he likes it”. And he did, he loved it. When he sang on it, it was magical. He’s a very talented person and I feel connected to him because he’s also plagued by other people’s projections of what he is. And that’s what’s really exciting to me about this album. In a way, it’s showing my fans how to have a more detailed and critical eye with music and what they’re looking at."— Lady Gaga, 2013 BBC Radio 1 interview Adoremus in caelum, Palutena. Dea luminis.

gagzus 16,004 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Gaga asked him if he liked the song bc he's the king of R&B and she wanted his approval (she's said this like 1937495 times in interviews during the DWUW era) and he loved it so much he wanted to be on it so she let him, he recorded his part separately y'all just can't handle the fact she is sweet enough to see the good in even a potential criminal. The thing that i find strange is that she willingly agreed to him joining the song without him being in the studio with her, his engineer helped with his part & emailed it to DJWS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woolfsmck 2,763 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 At this point in her career, I don't see how Gaga could be 'forced' into anything she doesn't want. I think her management quitting on her midway has a lot to do with unfinished projects more than anything really. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still. My words give a clue,look inside to see whats true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic 50,107 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Gaga was happy to have him on the song despite R Kelly's obvious shortcomings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

User 352 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I also think that DWJ and Tara influenced her at that time. It was wrong to work with him, it destroyed DWYW and also has rubbed off on gaga negative. I do not know what she was thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
